Chapter 19 General Huang: He Chu is my confidant!
Taking advantage of Superintendent Chen's good mood, Lu Qichang quickly pressed his advantage and spoke up.
"Officer Chen, our Team C is severely understaffed right now. Could you perhaps transfer a capable assistant to us?"
Upon hearing this, Superintendent Chen looked troubled.
"The best officers in the police force are all under close surveillance by various departments. Where can I transfer people to you from?"
Lu Qichang said with a smile,
"I already have a suitable candidate in mind; he's a promising candidate with a military or police background."
Superintendent Chen immediately became wary and asked,
"Who are you planning to transfer to your group this time?"
He Chu then took over the conversation at this opportune moment,
"Yang Jinrong, he was my classmate in the same police academy class as Ah Ren, and he is currently serving as a probationary inspector in the uniformed department."
"Yang Jinrong?" Superintendent Chen frowned deeply. "How come I've never heard of this person before?"
He advised,
"Our headquarters in West Kowloon has extremely high entry barriers."
"Ordinary police officers would never have the chance to get in."
He Chu said softly,
"He was my classmate when I was in police academy. Now he works in the military and police departments and his current rank is probationary inspector."
Superintendent Chen wished he could take back everything he had just said.
Holy crap, she's another formidable character on par with He Chu.
Yang Jinrong's police rank does not appear to be as high as Chu Gao's.
But once someone reaches the level of inspector, they naturally gain the favor of the military uniform department.
More importantly, Yang Jinrong is still so young!
Superintendent Chen said irritably,
"You two really know how to pick people, and you really know how to give me things to do."
"I'm afraid my old face doesn't have that much influence."
"I might have to bother the boss again."
Lu Qichang immediately offered a compliment,
"Sir, you are the boss's most trusted confidant, he will definitely give you this face."
Superintendent Chan shook his head.
"You're all just causing me trouble."
Despite his complaints, he was genuinely tempted.
Yang Jinrong is a young genius who is on par with He Chu.
Such talent is truly rare!
Such a promising talent should have been secured by us much earlier.
If another department snatches it away, I'll regret it terribly!
Superintendent Chan then said,
"Fine, I'll go ask the boss for the person right away. At worst, I'll just lose face."
"As long as you work hard from now on, my little bit of face doesn't matter at all."
Lu Qichang and He Chu were overjoyed.
"Thank you, sir!"
Just as Superintendent Chen was about to turn around, he suddenly turned back and said,
"You should try to resolve the Ni family's case as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain myself to General Huang."
The two quickly agreed.
Superintendent Chen gave the instructions.
"You two wait here, I'll go get the people for you right now."
The two thanked each other repeatedly.
Neither of them expected that Superintendent Chen would act so decisively.
After Superintendent Chen left, Lu Qichang smiled and said,
"Is our big sir reliable enough?"
He Chu said sincerely,
"This is absolutely amazing."
"We are so lucky to have such a boss."
Lu Qichang asked with a smile,
"Once Yang Jinrong arrives, things will be much easier for you."
"He should be considered one of your trusted men, right?"
He Chu did not deny it, but he said,
"Arong is exceptionally capable in intelligence gathering and investigation."
"His arrival can provide us with the most crucial assistance."
It's always best to start cultivating your own loyal followers as early as possible.
If we don't start training them now, are we going to wait until later to take action?
He Chu had a premonition that his promotion would be incredibly fast.
However, the problem that follows is that he will have very little time to cultivate his own loyal followers.
As the saying goes, "A hero needs three helpers," and this is especially true in the police force.
To smoothly roll out your work, having your own trusted team is of paramount importance.
Therefore, we must take advantage of the time while we are still at the grassroots level to train people.
Yang Jinrong was the first deputy he had already chosen in his mind.
He Chu was already very satisfied that he was able to be transferred here smoothly this time.
Lu Qichang asked curiously,
"How does Yang Jinrong's ability differ from Chen Yongren's?"
He Chu thought for a moment before speaking.
"He is more handsome than Ah Ren, and his personality is more calm and reserved."
"If we really talk about overall ability, Yang Jinrong is slightly better."
Lu Qichang was taken aback.
"How come I didn't notice that back then?"
He Chu chuckled.
"What can you tell from it?"
"If I were to reveal all my skills, wouldn't I be constantly on the radar of your superiors, and they'd probably send me undercover?"
Lu Qichang was speechless.
He then realized that there were very few truly foolish people in the world.
They're all as cunning as monkeys!
Which of the real elite police academy students would be willing to be sent undercover?
That is absolutely impossible.
If Chen Yongren hadn't been desperate, he probably would never have taken on the undercover mission.
Lu Qichang was speechless for a moment.
Just as the two were standing there in silence, Superintendent Chen pushed open the door and returned.
"The boss has already given his approval to transfer Yang Jinrong over here."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qichang and He Chu were overjoyed.
"However, the boss specifically asked Ah Chu to go and meet him."
He Chu was stunned.
"The boss actually wants to see me?"
Superintendent Chan said,
"The boss has set some conditions."
"You need to complete a task first before you can successfully transfer Yang Jinrong over."
He Chu frowned and said:
"You still want me to complete a task?"
"What exactly is the mission?"
Superintendent Chan shrugged.
"You'll know when you get there!"
Lu Qichang quickly said,
"Officer, how long will this mission take?"
"Inspector Ho is the backbone of our Major Crimes Unit."
Superintendent Chan was somewhat troubled.
"You know General Manager Huang's temper. Once he makes a decision, I dare not say a word against it."
Lu Qichang was speechless.
He Chu quickly said,
"I will complete this task as quickly as possible."
Just as he was about to push open the door and leave, Superintendent Chen gave an order.
"General Huang is waiting for you in the garden downstairs."
He Chu was taken aback:
"It seems this task is going to be difficult."
Lu Qichang said with a dark face,
"That's right, otherwise why would we insist on meeting with Inspector Ho in the garden?"
But things had already come to this point, and even if the two of them were unwilling, they had no other choice.
He Chu walked down to the garden and immediately spotted the familiar figure wearing the iconic large sunglasses.
A classic character image inexplicably popped into his mind.
The man wearing large sunglasses—it was none other than General Manager Huang—was scrutinizing He Chu from all angles, his expression gradually turning somewhat malicious.
"Her little face is so tender, it's absolutely gorgeous!"
"That figure is truly amazing."
As he spoke, he even reached out and patted He Chu's chest muscle!
He Chu's skin instantly broke out in goosebumps.
"Boss, if you don't mention the mission soon, people will think you're being indecent!"
General Huang coughed once.
My service pistol, which has been with me for over thirty years, is lost!
He Chu was stunned for a moment. Why did these words sound so familiar?
He suddenly remembered what General Huang had just said, and an outrageous idea instantly popped into his mind.
"No way? Isn't this the plot of 'Fight Back to School'?!"
So he probed,
"Who stole your service weapon?"
Mr. Huang said awkwardly,
"Last week, students from St. Edinburgh School came to visit the police station. After the students left, I realized that my service weapon was missing."
Seeing He Chu's strange expression, he assumed he was worried that losing the gun would cause trouble, and quickly spoke up.
"Don't worry, this gun is absolutely safe."
"That gun is notoriously good; it simply can't fire."
"It's been with me for thirty years, and I've never fired it once."
"I have a deep bond with it. I always rely on it to scratch my back when it itches."
"After so many years of use, the muzzle has been worn down by two inches."
He Chu was now 100% certain that this was the classic plot of "Fight Back to School." Just to be on the safe side, he still asked,
"So what do you mean?"
General Huang waved his hand.
"My gun can't hurt anyone, you just need to help me find it."
"It would be too embarrassing for me, the director, to lose my service weapon."
"We have to get it back no matter what."
"This matter must absolutely not be made public."
He Chu immediately understood.
"You mean, you want me to go undercover at St. Edinburgh School and secretly investigate this matter?"
General Huang's appreciation grew stronger.
"You're definitely a smart guy."
"As long as you can help me find the gun, we can discuss anything."
"I will definitely transfer Yang Jinrong, whom your group wants, to you smoothly."
"In addition, I will give you a separate commendation."
He Chu sighed inwardly.
"As expected, it's the truant dragon!" He Chu's expression grew increasingly strange. He had long since figured out Boss Huang's personality, and his words gradually became bolder:
"Boss, are you suggesting I go to St. Edinburgh School and pretend to be a student?"
General Huang was very pleased.
"That's right, no other police officer would be suitable."
"You're the only one in the entire police station who looks so young and fair-skinned, like a student."
"Going undercover is the perfect fit for him."
He Chu complained,
"Back in police academy, I deliberately hid my skills because I didn't want to be an undercover agent."
"Even a dog wouldn't want to go undercover."
"If you encounter a superior like Huang Zhicheng, you probably won't be able to come back alive for the rest of your life."
When General Huang heard him mention Huang Zhicheng, he instantly remembered He Chu's great contributions, and though he was furious, he couldn't vent his anger. He could only helplessly ask,
"So what do you suggest we do about this?"
"You have to find me someone who can go undercover!"
He Chu was extremely puzzled.
"Is it really necessary to use the undercover method?"
General Huang countered with a question:
"Is there any other way?"
He Chu analyzed it for him,
"Boss, your concern is simply that you lost your service weapon. This is something that can't be made public; we have to find it quietly."
General Huang was very pleased.
"That's right."
"No matter what, the gun was lost in my office. If word got out, it would be a huge joke. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to all this trouble."
"If we send people to investigate in a big way, wouldn't that be the same as telling everyone about it?"
He explained all the ins and outs to He Chu.
"Most importantly, the parents of students at St. Edinburgh School all have extraordinary backgrounds."
"Once this gets out, our police station will face a lot of pressure."
"At that time, even the police chief will have to question me."
"You know what I mean, right?"
He Chukuang nodded:
"I understand, so this needs to be investigated secretly, without alerting anyone, right?"
General Huang was quite pleased.
"You're a smart kid. Alright, starting tomorrow, you'll go undercover at St. Edinburgh School."
He Chu shook his head:
"I'm not going!"
Boss Huang was so angry he almost took off his sunglasses:
"You were talking so logically just now, but then you turn around and tell me you're not going?"
He Chu smiled and said,
"Boss, you seem to have misunderstood something."
General Huang snorted coldly.
"If you can't give me a clear answer today, I'll make things difficult for your group every day."
He Chu chuckled lightly.
"Of course I know how sensitive and serious this matter is."
"But... for a case like this, there's really no need to go undercover at the school."
General Huang was immediately taken aback:
"What do you mean by that?"
He Chu analyzed,
"First of all, your gun is a famously benevolent gun."
"Even if this gun falls into the hands of bad guys, it won't pose any harm to society."
General Huang disagreed.
"It just can't make a sound or hurt anyone, but I've had a relationship with it for over thirty years."
He Chu followed suit and said,
"Of course. Our top priority now is to get it back and we absolutely cannot let it fall into the hands of shady people."
General Huang then nodded:
"That's right!"
He Chu then said,
"So, we need to analyze clearly who took this gun of kindness, and what they want to do with it?"
General Huang was taken aback, then suddenly laughed.
"You little rascal... you're really starting to look like a brave and capable detective."
"Then I'll listen carefully to your insightful opinion."
He Chu analyzed,
"First, we can narrow down the suspects directly—the students of St. Edinburgh School."
"And it's almost certain that he's a male student."
"Even the most rebellious female student would never covet a police officer's service weapon."
General Huang nodded:
"That makes sense!"
He Chu then said,
"This is the police headquarters. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter. Students who come to visit are definitely registered in detail."
"In this way, we can further narrow down the scope of the investigation."
A smile appeared on General Huang's face.
"right."
That's exactly the point.
He Chu said softly,
"Then, another crucial question arises."
Mr. Huang's curiosity has been piqued by He Chu.
"What's the key issue?"
He Chu held up one finger.
"What kind of student would dare to take a police station's service weapon?"
"And it's the service weapon from the chief's office."
General Huang casually remarked,
"He must be a mischievous and playful kid."
He Chu clapped his hands and said,
"Yes, those are playful and mischievous students."
"This kind of student must be notorious for being mischievous and troublesome in the class."
"Finding it is not difficult at all."
General Manager Huang's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he felt a sense of accomplishment.
